Resolution Procedures.
UNCW TAKES A STAND
The University of North Carolina,
Wilmington takes these issues very seriously. Sexual misconduct, relationship abuse, and stalking are prohibited at UNCW under the
Gender-Based/Sexual Misconduct
Policy.

 UNCW takes issues of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking very seriously. If a student wishes to make a report to the Office of the Dean of Students
(ODOS), call 962-3119.


All students are entitled to a prompt, fair, and impartial investigation and resolution of complaints.
 Possible sanctions for violating the policy include a range from written reprimand up to and including suspension or expulsion.
UNCW considers these violations to be serious, thus typically the most severe sanctions are imposed.
ODOS can issue a no contact order if requested by a victim. This is issued only through the university and both parties must be students at the university.
If you are the victim of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence or stalking then there are resources available to you as an employee. Contact Human Resources or the CARE
Center for more information. For example, you have the right to:
 Be assisted by campus authorities if reporting a crime to law enforcement
 Change academic, living, transportation or working situations to avoid a hostile environment
 Obtain or enforce a no contact directive or restraining order
 Receive contact information about existing counseling, health, mental health, victim advocacy, legal assistance and other services available both on campus and in the community
The three confidential resources for students are
UNCW CARE, the Counseling Center or the
Student Health Center.
BE AN ACTIVE BYSTANDER:
At UNCW, we believe that the safety of our community is EVERYONE’s business. Sometimes the person being targeted isn’t able to stop the escalation and that’s when it’s important for friends or bystanders to step in.
TWO STEP PROCESS:
1. Notice the Problem
2. Do Something:
 Direct —say something to those involved
 Delegate—get others to
help with the situation
 Distract—create a
distraction and get that person out of there
The university offers educational programs aimed at creating a safe work and learning environment. These resources can be accessed through Human Resources
(www.uncw.edu/hr/harassment-conferencesregistrationform.html) and UNCW CARE
